An Appeal to the Business Men.

Mr.. ABBOTT. viii you allow us to add
a few words to the article recently pub
lished by you. urging upon our business
men and others, the propriety of an early
closing of business, TO allow employer
and employed little sSrely needed relax.
alton during the heated term.
Some time since we circulated a paper
among our business men and citizens, not
one refusing TO sign, when presented.
This paper was merely an agreement or
promise on their part, that ION Saturdays,
only one day in the week, they would
make their deposits and attend to what
ever bank business they might have, as
early in The day as possible. or before one
o'clock, to enable the officers TO close
up their business at o'clock, and thus
have the Saturday afternoon for rest and
recreation.
We are sorry to say, that with a few
honorable exceptions, the signers paid
very little heed TO this promise, and some
when spoken to on the subject even reply
you are well paid TO do your work. and
| don't see why you should have the af-
ternoons to rest any more than 1.-THE ex-
treme selfishhess of such a spirit needs
no comment.
We do not desire to pose in the attitude
Vi uidItyTbs OF 10 DC dCCuscu OF cEOLlSm,
when We say that ne at all times exert
ourselves for the accommodation of the
public in every way and truly this is a
very small boon that we crave at their
hands.
They should remember that at least
eighteen books are in daily use in the
book keeping of this bank, and the de-
tails of the days work have to be conden-
sed at the end of the day into two books,
and these adjusted to a cent before we
leave. So you can readily see, that il the
entire time of the officers is occupied un.
til 3 o'clock, receiving deposits, settling
notes, making change, &c. that book
keeping must be postponed for the after
noon and evening.
We hope this appeal through your col
umns will induce our friends TO be more
considerate in the future. And only add
by way of example, that in the great city
of New York, no bank business is trans
acted on Saturday after one o'clock, and
this by mutual agreement of the banks
and their customers.

Crowds at Bay Ridge.

The long continued heated term, has
had the effect o. driving thousands of
people from the cities TO the various wa
tering places and summer resorts, and
there is no place that appears to be more
popular with the general public than Bay
Ridge. Thousands seek this resort daily
for It's sea breeze and saltwater bathing
Yesterday at least 5000 people spent the
day at this great summer resort-the ma
iority of them coming from Baltimore
and Washington. besides large number
from Annapolis. Among the societies at
the Ridge were the Carpet Upholsterers,
the Martina Mannerchor and the ST. Vim
cents Lyceum.

This is About the Size of 1t.

After you get on your ear and make up
your mind to stop your paper to make
the editor feel humiliated, just poke your
finger into water and then pull it out
and look for the hole. Then you will
know how sadly you are missed. The
man who thinks paper cannot survive
without his support ought to go off and
stay awhile. When he comes back he will
find half of his friends didn't know he
was gone; the other half didn't care a
cent, and the world at large didn't keep
any account of his movements whatever
You will probably find something in your
home paper you cannot endorse Even
the Bible is rather plain and hits some
hard licks. If you were to stop your paper
and call the editor all sorts of ugly names
the paper would still be published. And
what is more, you will sneak around and
borrow a copy of it every day.

Open Air Concert.

The third of the series of open air con.
certs by the Annapolis Cornet Band on
State House Hill, Prof. Barton, leader,
that was to have taken place tonight will
have to be postponed until Tuesday night,
next, August End, on account of a
death in the family of member of the
band. These concerts are greatly en-
ioyed by our citizens, who show their ap-
probation of inspiring music by their
large attendance on the occasions; besides
it is a great relief from the dull monotony
of the day. A few more seats on the Hill
would be great convenience to visitors
and make the concerts more enjoyable,

Wants n Constable.

Justice Spencer, the newly appointed
magistrate for Horn Point, finds it neccs.
sary, in order to bring the lawless TO jus
tice to have the services of constable,
and has applied to the County Commits
sioners to furnish such an officer for that
place. Several instances have come to
his knowledge where if arrests had been
made the parties might have been punish
ed. 1t seems but just, and right, that in
a village like Horn Point, where depreda-
tions are being committed by disorderly
parties that constable should be assign
ed for special duty there.
